Battry problem I have a similar problem with my Canon A570. Would love a solution.

Broken MIrror? well your sub-mirror is broken inside of the camera, i had the same problem, it just happens by itself after extended use of the camera, and it is not a means for recall by canon so you have to deal with it yourself. this website can fix it for $130 and they will replace it with a metal piece so it doesn't happen again(original piece is weak plastic) I just read the above solution. It looks like I may have the same problem - I have easily taken 50,000 pictures with my Canon Rebe

Hi I recently purchased Canon Powershot Sd1200 IS. I installed the Solution Disc software but when I connect the camera to my computer there is nothing that tells me I have installed new hardware - the computer makes the ringing sound when I turn camera power on and off. Only the user guides show on my computer. Before this camera I had the Canon Powershot SD1000 and was able to download my pictures with no problem. Was told at Future Shop that it might be a problem with my computer. rnEmail

Camera problem Hi, I see you did follow my advice , saved what you could, and the result was a corrupted memory card as I suggested. Normally on Fixya this is given a fixya mark, as it was a correct diagnosis - leading to a solution. By giving this mark, it shows a positive course of action for other to follow who have similar problems. I wish you to consider rating this as a fixya instead of a thanks for trying, as this mark is for comments that were tried but do not lead to a solution. Thank y

Up/downloading problems We have several W55's and love them, but 1 of them is no longer downloading to the computer. When we hook it up, and turn it on, the lens extends as though to take a picture. We put the memory card into the other camera and downloaded that way, but the messed up camera is about to go with my son back to California, so our "temporary solution" won't work anymore. Its as though the computer doesn't recognise that camera at all. If there isn't a solution to our problem, does

My canon EOS 100D digital SLR is saying 'card write protected' when ever I turn it on. It just started to appear on my screen for no apparent reason one day and it won't let me take pictures anymore. It's not the card it's the camera, I have tried sliding the switch on the side of the memory card and even tried new cards in my camera but it happens with every card I insert. I have googled the problem and can't find any solution to fix the problem. Would be very grateful if you could help at all

I have a Canon Rebel T1i EOS. The built-in flash will not open and I get three clicks and error meaasage #5 appears, I turn off and on again and the same problem occurs.
Is there an easy solution to this or do I have to send it to Canon?
Thanks,

HelloOK, there might just be a easy fix..Have a look at the link below, it helped for many people. If the problem still persists after you have tried the link below, you will need to take the camera to your nearest camera service centre. ...

My XP SP3 notebook doesn't connect to various Canon Cameras via USB. There is the open and close sound, but then there's no further recognition. Has anyone faced similar problems?
PS: I'm using a Canon printer via USB, could this be a reason why the cameras don't connect?

You need to plug it in and see if it is showing up as a usb storage device. sometimes xp will see it as this if the driver gets messed up. Try reinstalled the canon software which should fix this. You can get this from the canon support downloads if ...

How to format an SD card on a Canon SD600 camera when the menu says "memory card locked." The memory card is in the unlocked position. When we put the SD card in another Canon camera (SD780 IS), it works fine, and will store a photo. It appears that something in the SD 600 camera itself is preventing the card from functioning. Can you offer a solution to this problem?

Could be that you have the wrong memory card.\012SD600 will only work with the old SD cards, but the SD780 will take the SDHC cards.SDHC was intended to give 4gb or more of storage, while the old SD started as 16 mb. Different camer ...

I am afraid you have the notorious lens stuck problem. If you google "canon lens stuck" or "canon lens not retracing" the results will be in millions. Canon's quote for repairing this issue is well over the cost of the camera itself. However all is n ...

Sometimes the timer is set to 00:00 while the video is playing, sometimes the video just shows the black screen on pc, other similar nasty things happen. What should I do to fix this problem? Is there any patch from Canon availabale or any alternative method of fixing videos?

I read your solution to the Sony DSC-T1 black screen problem, but the link you provided did not work, even when I copied it into my browser. I know from all the other posts on the website that I have the identical problem and would love to get it fixed, but I found no reference to "free repair" anywhere on the Sony website. What am I doing wrong? I am in the process of trying the phone support now, but I have no reason to expect that to work any better. I will let you know if I am successful. Th

I have a Cannon PowerShot SD750. The LCD suddenly went blank - dark all through, last month Dec.,08. I tried everything - reset, disp button, menu, power down, etc. to no avail. The best answer to my search for solution recommends sending it back to the manufacturer for a free correction of the problem which they say occurs when the camera is left in a too-hot-for-it environment, like inside a car on a sunny (hot) day. My problem is which canon address or telephone number do I contact? I am base

Canon SD1100 won't turn on. I just bought a used one off of Ebay because I liked the model (mine was stolen) and it seemed to be working fine. However, the seller gave me a generic, no-name battery and charger which I hope is the problem. I want to know if buying a Canon battery and charger would be my solution. If not, i'm gonna have to return it...

That likely wouldn't fix it now. The cheap generic batteries sometimes cause this problem. Let me make a suggestion, if you go to camerasand parts.com they only charge $69 to totally service the camera up, that includes the power problem too and also ...
